The Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is real. After years of rumors and speculation, Square Enix revealed Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, a remaster of the original Final Fantasy Tactics, during Wednesday's State of Play. However, the small print on the remaster's collector's box has tainted the reveal somewhat.
The good news is that if you want to pre-order a copy of The Ivalice Chronicles before it launches on September 30, 2025, you can do it right now. However, in typical Square Enix fashion, placing a pre-order all gets a little bit confusing if you want the collector's box. Notice it's not called a collector's edition, and there's a good, very annoying reason for that.
Everything you need to know about placing a pre-order for the long-awaited remaster of Final Fantasy Tactics.
The collector's box does not include a copy of the game, similar to what Square controversially did with its Life Is Strange: Double Exposure collector's edition last year. A note on the Ivalice Chronicles web page about the collector's box reads, "It’s available to buy with the game, which is not packaged inside the box, but will be shipped together."
If you're still confused,...
